A choking accident occurred in Ziyang, Sichuan Province, mainland China on the 24th. A 16-year-old boy was drinking pearl milk tea while walking. It was suspected that a pearl was stuck in his trachea and he lost consciousness on the spot. After the news was exposed, it rushed to the hot search on Weibo. The deceased brother clarified that his brother was not caught in the throat by milk tea, but because of cardiac arrest. I hope everyone will stop hyping it up.
According to the Lu media “Red Star News” report, from the video, it can be seen that there are many onlookers around, medical staff treat the teenager who fell on the ground, and there is a cup of bubble milk tea poured out on the ground next to it. The hospital revealed that when the officers arrived at the scene, the boy had no signs of life, and he was declared dead after being rescued.
After the news came to light, many people commented, “It’s really easy to accidentally choke the trachea of things like pearls and coconuts in milk tea”, “Some pearl particles are really too slippery, I once drank too quickly, pearls Come out from the nostrils”, “If there are people at the scene who can know the Hamlich method, maybe there is a rescue”, “I am a local citizen of Ziyang, and the medical staff used the Heimlich method to rescue in the first half of the video. Don’t just watch the second half and question it. Professionalism of the medical staff”.
Enthusiastic netizens also share the Hamlic method for your reference. First, stand behind the patient, surround the patient’s waist with 2 arms, make a fist with 1 hand, and place the thumb side of the fist on the abdomen between the patient’s thorax and the navel. Grab the fist with the other hand, and press the patient’s abdomen with a quick upward blow, and repeat the above maneuvers until the foreign body is discharged.
However, the deceased’s brother clarified afterwards, “My brother was not caught in the throat by the milk tea at all, but because of a cardiac arrest, he hadn’t even drunk it yet, so how could it be stuck in his throat. It is completely true that my brother was killed by the milk tea stuck in his throat. Spread rumors!”
